June 2, 2012: On a rainy weekend, we drove all the way to Tayabas Quezon. It was a 138 kilometer drive south of Luzon from Antipolo City via the backdoor route. After 3 hours of lush green scenery we reached our destination, The Minor Basilica of St. Michael the Archangel. It is the largest Catholic church in Quezon province. Built during the Spanish colonial era, it is now considered as one of the most beautiful churches in the country.
Surprised that a replica of the Black Nazarene was waiting for us inside the church, we paused and prayed for his continued guidance.
We spent the night at Batis Aramin in Lucban and heard the Sunday morning mass at the Kamay ni Hesus shrine which was just across the street before driving back home.
